"The Samson Option is the name that some military analysts have given to Israel's hypothetical deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a "last resort" against nations whose military attacks threaten its existence."

Israel refuses to confirm or deny it has nuclear weapons or to describe how it would use them, an official policy of nuclear ambiguity, also known as "nuclear opacity." This has made it difficult for anyone outside the Israeli government to describe the country's true nuclear policy definitively, while still allowing Israel to influence the perceptions, strategies and actions of other governments.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option

Wonderful. Well, since our forum readers will know that nuclear bombs are a hoax - a totally fictitious, scare-mongering fable invented and upheld by the powers that be - how are we to interpret this ludicrous "SAMSON OPTION"? Here we have a weeny little nation of this planet - threatening ALL OF US to be blown into smithereens - if we only have the gall to threaten their existence... Can any sane, living brain on this planet buy this crap? And for how long are we supposed to buy it?

Now, anyone is free to believe that this threat of a nuclear armageddon proposed to us by Israel is real.

But whether it is real or not, can any honest human being accept to be threatened with such a pathetic and unspeakably offensive menace ? What exactly is going on here? How can a little nation threaten to blow up the entire planet - without being reprimanded by the entire international community for uttering such grossly inane and ridiculous threats? Isn't it high time to start questioning the very sanity of the folks behind this?

To be sure, this little forum of ours - and all of its members - have been accused in the mainstream media of being mentally challenged or, in other words - insane. This, in two major Norwegian newspapers - and in the context of the Breivik affair, a crass psyop obviously backed and ordained by jewish-Norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg. So where do I - or we - go from here? Now, please tell me: have I not, as a 'neutral' Scandinavian researcher into media fakery, showed time and time again my dislike for making political statements? I think I have. But there comes a time when every man of integrity (real men with balls, if you will) has to take a stance - however uncomfortable it may be - and to call out the enemy. Now - make no mistake - to talk about the jewish potentates and media-moguls (no - NOT all jews) of this planet is a matter of political and psychological relevance - and has absolutely NOTHING to do with racism. I have also repeatedly stated my belief that the PTB (the powers that be) are composed by a wide variety of power-obsessed maniacs. It's a big, international, "olympic" mafia - and the jewish team seem to be pretty much on top of it. Do I have an 'agenda'? No, but I might start thinking about it...Perhaps my agenda would be to confine the insane people of this planet into two big skyscrapers converted into mental institutions - and perhaps someone like Nobel Peace Prize recipient Henry Kissinger would be my prime choice for a high-profile patient to promote my world-saving mental asylum.

Anyhow, what this SAMSON OPTION tells us, is that the people behind it have very serious mental issues. They are not alone though. Even American and British potentates keep brandishing the big stick of the "atomic bomb" - and most of this world's population keep buying their bullcrap. All we need here is for normal people to see through the insanity of our so-called "leaders" - and start thinking for themselves. Unfortunately, most people keep staring into their TV sets - and let themselves being hypnotized by the ongoing media show.

In any case, don't lose any sleep because you've now heard of the "SAMSON OPTION". The folks behind this crap are clearly deranged and should - at the very least - be totally ignored. In fact, I should have, ideally, ignored them too!

I always liked the imagery of Samson bringing down the building, as a myth. It's like a so-bad-its-good Conan pastiche but written in the bronze age.

I think, though, that a "Samson option" is a more viable tool for the people than for states, religions, cabals, and cults. Disbelief can be our Samson option; spread far enough, it can (and would) bring everything down, more surely than any nuclear detonation. Nations, businesses and banks, even armies depend on a complex web of beliefs about the world beyond one's own experience, just to exist. It's all a very fragile house of cards, really.

If I were them, I'd be far more careful with the sort of imagery they want to promote. Building a house of cards that's making everyone angry and then bringing up Samson is probably not the most brilliant idea.

I agree, for they are, as are all their creed, Mediocre. 'When the mediocrity rule they allow no talent to rise' That is why they always fall, they have no real imagination and so no true aspirations. The spirit of man is stronger than their boring, boring ever more boring 'fundi-mentality'.

They are mere mortals and will crumble as dust back into the Earth..............were as that which is 'immortal' will not ;-)

I may be wrong but I have come to believe that jealousy is the root of all 'evil'

If Syria retaliates against Israels recent air strikes and its allies get involved then they most likely will go with their "Samson Option", and all hell is going to break loose. The situation is looking quite ominous right now.

Among ancient cities of the world, Damascus is perhaps the oldest continuously inhabited. Its name, Dimashq in Arabic ... derives from Dimashka, a word of pre-Semitic etymology, suggesting that the beginnings of Damascus go back to a time before recorded history.

It is estimated Israel has as many as 400 atomic and hydrogen nuclear weapons.(Vapour ware)

I'm guessing the two above images don't need linked as they are for humour rather than analysis.

High profile Israeli supporters also brandish such threats. Martin Van Creveld, a professor of military history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem stated: "We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: ‘Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.’...We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under."
